Set the Director Online or Offline

This section describes procedures to set the director online or offline. These

operating states are described as follows:

■ Online—When the director is set online, an attached device can log in to the

director if the port is not blocked. Attached devices can communicate with

each other if they are configured in the same zone.

■ Offline—When the director is set offline, all ports are set offline. The director

transmits the offline sequence (OLS) to attached devices, and the devices

cannot log in to the director.

Note: When the director is set offline, the operation of attached Fibre Channel devices

is disrupted. Do not set the director offline unless directed to do so by a procedural step

or the next level of support.
